Question: 1 / 400

Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Tennessee?

Yes, always

No, but a background check is required

In Tennessee, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. However, a background check is required for all handgun purchases, regardless of whether you are buying from a licensed dealer or a private seller. This background check is performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and is to ensure that the buyer is not prohibited from owning a firearm. Option A is incorrect because a permit is not always required, as explained above. Option C is incorrect because a permit is not required as long as the individual is able to pass a background check. Option D is incorrect because both residents and non-residents are subject to the same background check requirement when purchasing a handgun in Tennessee.
